Along the same lines ... Make sure you get the most out of the 
experience you do have.

I sometimes add an "Environment" heading at the bottom of the role

words in a short descriptive narrative. It doesn't matter if never 
touched it, your not saying that you did.  It will definitely clear the 
arbitrary HR filter.
